01 · Category concentration

Halal represents 45% of all classified observations, making it the strongest visible food-truck category in this sample.

n = 31 classified rows

02 · Price transparency

Only 58% of observations explicitly showed prices. That makes displayed pricing a useful behavior to compare against crowd size and food type.

Yes / No rows only

03 · Data quality

The map contains 1 distant coordinate outside the NYC cluster. It stays available as a marker, but the default view focuses on NYC so the local spatial pattern remains readable.
